Assessing earth system model predictions of C-4 grass cover in North America: From the glacial era to the end of this century

Creator:: Still, Christopher J., Cotton, Jennifer M., and Griffith, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Aim C-4 grasses are distinct from C-3 grasses, because C-4 grasses respond in a different manner to light, temperature, CO2 and nitrogen and often have higher resource-use efficiencies. C-3 and C-4 grasses are typically represented in earth system models (ESMs) by different plant functional types (PFTs). The ability of ESMs...

Biogeographically distinct controls on C₃ and C₄ grass distributions: merging community and physiological ecology

Creator:: Griffith, Daniel M., Anderson, T. Michael, Osborne, Colin P., Strömberg, Caroline A. E., Forrestel, Elisabeth J., and Still, Christopher J.
Abstract:: AIM: C₄ photosynthesis is an adaptation that maintains efficient carbon assimilation in warm and low-CO₂ conditions. Due to the importance of C₄ grasses for carbon and surface energy fluxes numerous models have been proposed to describe their spatial distribution and forecast responses to climate change. These models often rely on...

Cloud shading and fog drip influence the metabolism of a coastal pine ecosystem

Creator:: Carbone, Mariah S., Williams, A. Park, Ambrose, Anthony R., Boot, Claudia M., Bradley, Eliza S., Dawson, Todd E., Schaeffer, Sean M., Schimel, Joshua P., and Still, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Assessing the ecological importance of clouds has substantial implications for our basic understanding of ecosystems and for predicting how they will respond to a changing climate. This study was conducted in a coastal Bishop pine forest ecosystem that experiences regular cycles of stratus cloud cover and inundation in summer. Our...

Evaluating spatial patterns of drought-induced tree mortality in a coastal California pine forest

Creator:: Baguskas, Sara A., Peterson, Seth H., Bookhagen, Bodo, and Still, Christopher J.
Abstract:: In a coastal, fog-influenced forest on Santa Cruz Island in southern California, we observed mortality of Bishop pine (Pinus muricata D.Don) trees following a brief (2 year), yet intense, drought. While anecdotal evidence indicates that drought-induced Bishop pine mortality has occurred in the past in the stand we studied, this...

Introducing a sensor to measure budburst and its environmental drivers

Creator:: Kleinknecht, George J., Lintz, Heather E., Kruger, Anton, Niemeier, James J., Salino-Hugg, Michael J., Thomas, Christoph K., Still, Christopher J., and Kim, Youngil
Abstract:: Budburst is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of budburst data is constrained by a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental stimuli associated with the release of...

Phenology and Productivity of C₃ and C₄ Grasslands in Hawaii

Creator:: Pau, Stephanie and Still, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Grasslands account for a large proportion of global terrestrial productivity and play a critical role in carbon and water cycling. Within grasslands, photosynthetic pathway is an important functional trait yielding different rates of productivity along environmental gradients. Recently, C₃-C₄ sorting along spatial environmental gradients has been reassessed by controlling for...

Abstract:: The presence of low-lying stratocumulus clouds and fog has been known to modify biophysical and ecological properties in coastal California where forests are frequently shaded by low-lying clouds or immersed in fog during otherwise warm and dry summer months. Summer fog and stratus can ameliorate summer drought stress and enhance...

Spatial patterns and trends of summertime low cloudiness for the Pacific Northwest, 1996-2017

Creator:: Dye, Alex W., Rastogi, Bharat, Clemesha, Rachel E. S., Kim, John B., Samelson, Roger M., Still, Christopher J., and Williams, A. Park
Abstract:: Summertime low clouds are common in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), but spatiotemporal patterns have not been characterized. We show the first maps of low cloudiness for the western PNW and North Pacific Ocean using a 22‐year satellite‐derived record of monthly mean low cloudiness frequency for May through September and supplemented...
